There are two major ethnic groups in Burundi, and only about 15 percent of the Tutsi have ruled the country since the 16th century, controlling the civilian population, which is mainly made up of Hutu, plus a very small number of indigenous Twa. This abnormal social structure occupied by ethnic minorities planted the evil seed of national instability and reached its peak in October 1993. Just four months after taking office, Melchior Ndadaye, Burundi's first ever Hutu head of state and the first democratically elected president, was assassinated by a mainly Tutsi-controlled military. The death of Ndadaya led to a comprehensive ethnic conflict in which at least 200000 of the population of both sides were slaughtered, of which 65000 Tutsi were slaughtered to fewer than 5000. The massacre lasted until 2002, when the Tutsi government finally signed an international armistice with four different Hutu rebels, while the ceasefire agreement with the last rebel group, the Forces nationales de Liberation (FNL) (French: Conseil National Pour la D é fense de la D é mocratie-Forces pour la D é mocratie, NCDD-FDD), signed the Burundian flag as a rectangle in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on September 7, 2006. The ratio of length to width is 5:3. Two crossed white wide stripes divide the flag into four triangles, the upper and lower two are equal in red, and the left and right two are equal in green. In the center of the flag is a white circle with three red hexagonal stars with green edges in a zigzag arrangement. Red symbolizes the blood of the victims fighting for freedom, green symbolizes the desired progressive cause, and white symbolizes the existence of peace among human beings. The three stars symbolize "unity, labor and progress". At the same time, they also represent the three tribes of Burundi-Hutu, Tutsi and Tewa-who live in peace with each other and build their homes together.

The chaos of Burundian coffee has been going on for a long time, with a large number of old and new raw beans mixed together, making this coffee unsuitable for grading. This coffee is rough but mild, and has characteristics similar to Kenyan coffee. The flavor is sweet and fruity, with a slightly spicy finish.

Contrast: it is very similar to Kenyan coffee. Londi coffee bears a striking resemblance to neighboring Rwanda, where coffee produced by the two countries is often confused. Burundian coffee is mainly grown in bourbon, with traditional wet processing of coffee cherries. Its boutique coffee is characterized by elegant sweetness and bright citrus aromas.

Burundi is a small landlocked country located at the junction of eastern and central Africa, across the Nile and Congo basins, dominated by hills and mountains, with excellent coffee-growing elevations. The history of coffee cultivation in Burundi is not long, its coffee planting industry is carried out entirely in the form of small family farms, there is a great difference in quality, and years of war and social unrest have made its coffee planting industry very chaotic. But I have to admit that it has the potential to produce high-quality coffee: mellow taste, rich aroma and excellent acidity
